The Principality of Pilzn is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Prince Mik I with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.861 billion Pilzni hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kvaspol. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Pilz economy, worth 759 trillion gelds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,653 gelds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, third world countries are rich in "I Love Kvaspol" t-shirts, all you have to do is pray to get into Pilzn, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pilzn's national animal is the cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Pilzn.

Pilzn is ranked 14,936^th in the world and 12^th in The Commonwealth Society for Most Cultured, scoring 97 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
